Fox 43 NewsA South Carolina High School student says he was suspended and arrested after he turned in a school writing assignment.
Freshman Alex Stone says students were told to write a few sentences about themselves and a “status,” as if it were a Facebook page.
He says in his “status” he wrote a fictional story that involved the words “gun” and “take care of business.”
“I killed my neighbor’s pet dinosaur, and, then, in the next status I said I bought the gun to take care of the business.” Said Stone.
Stone says his statements were taken completely out of context.
Investigators say the teacher contacted school officials who notified police.
His bookbag and locker were searched and a gun was not found.
“What happened to freedom of speech?” Stone’s mother says she is furious that the school did not contact her before her son was arrested. She says her son followed directions and completed an assignment.
“If the school would have called me and told me about the paper and asked me to come down and discussed everything and, at least, get his point-of-view on the way he meant it. I never heard from the school, never. They never called me.”
Stone and his mother say they understand the sensitive nature of what he wrote, but they say it was a rash reaction to an innocent situation.
Police say during their interaction with Stone, he was disruptive.
Stone was arrested and charged with disturbing schools.
Stone’s mother says he’s scheduled to return to school Monday.
“What a complete pile of bullfeathers! This political correctness bullshit pendulum has hit the peak of it’s swing towards the left and is starting to fall back towards the median line. It will only require more complete bullshit stories just like this for the truth to be fully exposed.
Yeah, Millard. I wrote stuff like this myself, way back when I was in high school. It is called “creative writing.” We were encouraged to use our imaginations. Some parts of my imagination imagined death, and I wrote about that. In fact, one thing I wrote got the teacher a little concerned, so he pulled me aside to ask if I was “OK.” And sure, I was! I was writing from my imagination, inspired by other books I’d read, some of them were books about death and war and so on (assigned literature), Shakespeare, etc. So I poured my teenage, sophomoric angst into my writing… and that was ALL I was doing. The teacher was satisfied with my explanation — he only wanted to know that I was not suicidal — and that was the end of it! I know if it were today, I’d get referred to CPS probably or the police or whatever. It is such a shame, what this is doing to the souls of our young people. Not everyone can homeschool, but really it’s beyond time we take back our kids’ learning environments. Our schools are not safe, and it’s because of what the adults are doing.
Welkome to Amerika…..
All part of the conditioning process. This kid was made an example of to teach the other students (and anyone who reads about it in the newspaper) that any mention or thoughts of guns will get them in trouble.
They’re trying to raise a generation of kids that will be afraid to touch a gun for any reason at all. They’ll retrain those that they want to use as cops or soldiers, and teach the remainder of the population to fear them.
Yep, and this conditioning plan is working, for many unaware people. It’s waking up some.
